94 SPX Won't Start

[astro57]

My first time out this year for my 1994 SPX, it fired, ran for 2-3 seconds then stopped, fuel came out exhaust. After that it had a hard time cranking, I left it for about 15 minutes, it then cranked, fired, stopped and then hard to crank again. This cycle repated itself several times. Pulled the plugs and it looked like lots of fluid in the cylinders. Maybe a hydraulic lock until the fuel seeps by the rings. Any ideas what would cause this?
Thanks, Dave

Sounds like a inlet needle is sticking in the carbs. :cheers:

Clean carbs gray lines

It sounds like you need to remove the carburetors and clean them. If you're careful and don't tear or damage the diaphragms you won't need to buy a rebuild kit. Pay attention to the internal filters too. If you have gray fuel lines you need to replace them with black fuel lines available from auto parts stores like Auto Zone. Measure the length you need and bring a sample with you so you get the correct size. Replace one at a time so you don’t get them mixed up. If you need clamps replace them too. Use small stainless steel clamps also from the auto parts store. Premium Membership
